I was going to go with Motorin' Matt's, but it just wasn't sittin' right, and I liked Daddy Duc, as well as Desmo Daddy, because of the Ducati reference, but the wife didn't really care for the word Daddy being on a beer bottle in her home, with the two toddlers and all.
I am a "hefty" guy, at 6 ft tall, and 245lbs. I'm going with "Fat Duc Brewery". ( I added the , but I don't have anything actually filed or pending at the USPTO)
Now I just need to start brainstorming some labels. I would still like something uniquely Ducati'ish, like a single desmo valve, maybe a set of desmo rockers stylized into a rotund duck, I dunno. I'll figure something out.
I'm open to suggestions....
Thanks,
Matt
P.S. In case you don't have a clue about desmodromic valve actuation, it's a valvetrain that doesn't use springs to close the intake and exhaust valves, rather it has cam lobes and rockers for both opening as well as closing the valve. It's been used by Mercedes as well as others, but its predominant use has been by Ducati for high revving V-twin appplications where standard valve configurations were limited to lower RPMs because of the valves "floating" when the motors were revved up to speeds that approached 10K RPM.
